Civil Servant HunterâS S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 178
Episode 178
ãâYou barely survived. If you want, you can cancel your contract with me. So please donât think strange thoughts. You said you didnât want to die. âIf you die, please live for the sake of your family, who will have no reason to live in this world.âã The
managerâs gaze was directed at Seo-ra.
Watching Seo-ra escape from death and barely live as she was meant to, the manager realized for the first time that human life can be dazzling.
She, who had been hit at the bottom, became stronger, made friends who naturally cared for each other, and smiled happily with her loving family, so bright that sometimes it was difficult to open her eyes properly.
I did not want this beautiful light that shined brightly on his life, which had turned into despair and giving up because he could not control death, to fade away.
ãâIf you donât want to see me anymore, just say something. âThen I will disappear from your life forever.â ã
I hoped that Seo-ra would not give up on that brilliant life because my feelings, which had finally opened my eyes again after hundreds of years, could be trampled.
She has existed for so long that she is exhausted, but hasnât she just barely managed to survive? She has not yet been able to fully enjoy the life she has barely regained.
Itâs been a while since I waited for an answer. Finally, a trace of her voice was heard.
âokay?â
It was an emotionless voice, not a voice as hot as the sun.
âOkay, I understand. Then Iâll hate you all you want. I will hate you for the rest of my life. âI will break the contract and live my life cursing you for killing me five times.â
The voice pierced him.
My tightly clenched fist lost its strength and fell down.
This is it. Itâs okay if the hate ends up keeping her alive. As long as Seo-ra continues to live, she can handle anything.
ãââ¦.âã
But why? The reason why unfamiliar emotions keep stabbing my fingertips painfully.
It was definitely something I wanted. I was prepared.
ãâThen letâs cancel the contractâ¦âã
The manager, who was gently rubbing his fingertips, slowly opened his mouth. I donât want you to keep seeing my face, so I have to quickly cancel the contract and leave.
There is no need to know now why my hands keep shaking from pain.
It was the moment when he was about to take out the contract to destroy it.
âDo you really want me to say that?â
His upper body collapsed forward forcefully. Seo-ra was holding his collar, just like the last time he saw him in his dream.
The managerâs eyes widened as he met his eyes from up close.
Clear eyes unique to the living. There was no hate or hatred towards him anywhere in the black eyes that often took his gaze.
âOh my. I was wondering if you would hear what I was going to say. âIâm so annoyed that I canât listen to it anymore.â
ãââ¦Seo-ra?âã
âYou still donât know me. âEven if itâs only when you die five times, whatâs half a year this time? Weâve been together for almost a year, so why donât you know?â
ãâHuh?âã
âI know that I died because the gate was closed because of some bastard who was your enemy or something. But did you ignore me like that?â
I never turned away. Whatever the reason, it is true that the contract was proposed from the beginning. Itâs just that the method was wrong.
âAre you the one who tried to kill me every time?â
There was never even an attempt to kill him. The method was wrong and it led to a terrible ending.
âOr did you try to take advantage of me after the contract was signed?â
After failing several times, the contract was finally concluded when I finally gained some understanding of Seo-ra.
I devoted myself to Seo-ra after signing the contract to prevent it from falling to the seventh. He gave her weapons, jackets, gloves, and helped her become stronger. I was worried that I might get hurt or die.
Even when called by the name Elizabeth, she did not get angry once.
Seo-ra, who was disappointed by people, gave everything to the point that her heart eventually melted.
âWhat on earth did you do to me? Are you saying youâre sorry for what I did wrong and that youâll understand even if I hate you? Are you hiding this from me? Isnât it obvious? âEven if it were me, it wouldnât have been easy to talk about it if something like that had happened.â
ãââ¦.âã
I didnât understand Seo-raâs words. I thought it would be natural for Seo-ra to be angry because she died because of me and because of that, the family she loved all met a terrible end.
But why are you still looking at me with eyes full of light?
With the same eyes that often made her stare blankly.
âWhy did you think I would hate you when I found out everything? âAm I not that trustworthy?â
ãâThat canât be possibleâ¦âã
The manager shook his head reflexively. Then Seora laughed.
Brightly. So beautiful that I canât remember the deaths of the past.
My heart is pounding. The pain was spreading throughout my body.
âIâm sure I told you this before. Whoever you are, I will love you. âItâs not at all like that because you saved me a few times, right?â
ãââ¦.âã
âHe cared for me and gave me affection, so I could feel that he cared about me more than anyone else in his every action, and even though he was a fox, his eyes were full of love for me, and his heart was so happy that it brought tears to my eyes. Thatâs why I gave you my whole heart.â
love. Seo-ra blurted out the word, which was awkward for him to even say on the tip of his tongue.
Thatâs how I saw you.
They say that love made you happy. I forgot about that a long time ago, but you said you felt affection for me.
The manager touched his eyes without realizing it.
âBut what? Breaking the contract? I sat down and said something like digging. âDo you think Iâll let you go now?â
Seo-ra pulled his collar harder. They became so close that their breaths touched each other.
âDonât think about going somewhere else, just stay where you are. What are you sorry for me? To be honest, I donât think you have anything to be sorry about, but if you really want to be sorry, I wonât stop you. âIn return, if youâre sorry, youâll stick by my side for the rest of your life.â
ãââ¦.âã
âBecause that is the only way for your mistakes to be forgiven. What if he arbitrarily breaks the contract and leaves me? Are you like the god Hephaestus, saying you canât stand something like that and leaving me behind? I really wonât leave you alone. I donât just wait for the day to die like Shin Do-won. âI will just end my life so that no one will leave me behind anymore.â
ãâSeo-ra!âã
âOh, Iâm Yoon Seo-ra. Yoon Seo-ra, I canât bear to see the person I love abandon me again. âAs you know very well.â
After the death of her parents, Seo-ra cannot bear to be separated from her loved ones.
How could he not know that feeling?
Itâs just that he never imagined that he, too, would be part of it. Because he thought that if he found out the truth, Seo-ra would naturally hate him.
He didnât even know that Yoon Seo-ra already considered him as her own.
âYou said you couldnât die, right? I like that one word. Iâm so glad. âAt least you donât have to worry about dying.â
Seora smoothed his cheek with one hand.
Her body temperature, which I thought I was used to, was hot like iron heated in a fire. I donât know if itâs because my body is cold or because Seo-ra is so angry.
âSo what is the answer? Are you going to leave me behind? Are you going to break a contract I donât want? âYouâre saying youâll give me everything I want?â
ãââ¦But Seora. I donât want to see you keep taking risks to meet me. You, who died because of me, are finally alive, but how many times do you want me to keep getting hurt? âNo, I canât do it.â
Just seeing five deaths was already his limit.
âOh, there was that too. Did you say you would rather endure me hating you than see that happen? But it seems like you only know one and donât know the other. Even if you break the contract anyway, the enemy will still try to kill me. is not it? âI already killed him five times and failed the sixth time, so he must be even more desperate to kill me?â
Seora was right. In fact, the enemy was still grinding his teeth to kill her. Especially because it was the only one that failed.
âIf thatâs the case, wouldnât you feel better if you just stayed by my side and protected me?â
ãââ¦.âã
The manager was speechless. It was truly a question and answer. I was so worried that Seo-ra would get hurt because of me that I stupidly didnât even think about it.
If you break the contract, it becomes more difficult to keep her openly. Like a fool.
âThen Iâll ask again. Are you going to break the contract with me?â
ãâI wonât do it. I will not. âIf itâs whatever you want, Iâll follow it.â ã
Seora smiled brightly at the answer that came back quickly as if he had refused at some point.
I thought it would end like this, but instead, the bond between the two became stronger than ever. Even though he saw what happened in the past, Seo-ra did not hate him and instead thanked him for saving her life.
I hope it wasnât a dream. I hope itâs not even an imagination.
I liked this reality better now that she had forgiven me, rather than imagining her hating me and ending her own life because she couldnât bear it.
âI felt like he wanted me to hate him, so I didnât talk to him for two days and told him to calm down. âHow did you feel?â
ãââ¦It was terrible.âã
âBut if you die, Iâll be in trouble. Oh right. I said I couldnât die now anyway. Thatâs really fortunateâ¦â
Seora let go of the collar she was holding and looked at him from head to toe. Whenever he smiled brightly, now he was frowning as if he didnât like something.
âSummons die, right?â
ãâhuh. âItâs just that my will came into it.âã
âI donât want my fox to die. So open your mouth.â
Seora grabbed the managerâs chin and pulled him. Red lips were forced apart.
ãâSeo-ra?âã
âYou gave me a fox bead. Without it, the fox canât power up properly, so what if it dies? So take it back. âBecause my body is completely healed.â
ãâBut thatâsâ¦â ã
âI donât know how to give it, so you have to take it. Then, you have to kiss it like you gave it to me, right?â
ãâJust keep it. You can use the skill, so itâs not a problem if you donât have a single bead. What you still haveâ¦.âã
âWhat, you donât want to kiss me? âI want to do it?â
Are you saying you will listen to everything I want to do?
The manager hurriedly shut his mouth at the rude tone.
âIf you donât like it, just be quiet and open your mouth. I need a nine-tailed fox so that you can appear next to me like now, but what should I do if you die? So take it quietly.â
Before the manager could say anything, the hand holding her collar tightened and their lips met.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The manager was taken aback, but when Seo-raâs hand, which was holding her chin, moved gently, he had no choice but to take the fox bead out of her body. The beads that were filling Seoraâs Danjeon fell into the managerâs mouth.
And before her lips parted again, she bit the managerâs lip.
